Watching “La La Land” the night after Christmas was like finding a forgotten gift under the tree and unwrapping it slowly — box within a box within a box — and enjoying the process enormously. We will return and see it for a second time. We loved it.

Is it an homage to old MGM movies? Surely part of it is. Is it a quirky love story? Absolutely. Is it a significant work of art? Absolutely. Will it win an Academy Award? I surely hope so.

There’s so much to say about this that I’ve attached the New York Times review which is 100% on the mark. Obviously, the punchline for me is that “La La Land” is an absolute “must see.”
